Ultimate Johnny quot;Guitarquot; Watson rarities package, containing almost everything he cut between 1959 and 1965 for independent labels big and small. This period of JGW's career is less well documented than those which came before and after, although it includes Watson classics of the calibre of 'Cuttin' In', 'Looking Back' and his stellar recut of 'Gangster of Love'. Around half of these tracks have never been legitimately reissued on CD before. The brilliance of this music is matched by the booklet photography, featuring shots of JGW taken at Manchester's legendary Twisted Wheel club in 1964. Produced with the co-operation of the Watson Estate. Untouchable! The Classic 1959-1966 Recordings (CD)

Vinyl LP pressing. quot;Roots music visionaryquot; (Rolling Stone) Delbert McClinton returns with thje swaggering and swingin' new album, Tall, Dark & Handsome. Featuring 14 new, original new songs - all written or co-written by Delbert - the album dives deep into the blues, Americana and beyond, bursting with horns, fiddle, accordion, blazing guitar work, back-up singers and McClinton's charismatic rasp, proving Lyle Lovett's claim that quot;if we could all sing like we want to, we'd all sound like Delbert McClinton.quot; Tall, Dark & Handsome features Delbert's band the Self-Made Men + Dana: Dana Robbins (saxophone), Jack Bruno (drums), Mike Joyce (bass), Bob Britt (guitar), James Pennebaker (guitar), Kevin McKendree (keyboards), Dennis Wage (keyboards). It's evident from the first downbeat that McClinton and company had a blast making the record, shining a raucous light on the swinging, jazzy virtues of Texas blues. Opener quot;Mr. Smithquot; is a joyous shuffle. quot;If I Hock My Guitarquot; is sly and self-deprecating, the story of a down n' out axe-man who weighs his craft with a visit to the pawn shop. The album hurtles forward with a red hot energy, with only a couple cool breaths along the way, like on quot;Any Other Way,quot; a ballad that starts with quot;Just another lovely day / a low-flying angel got in my way.quot; Tall Dark & Handsome (Vinyl)

One of Billie Holiday's most iconic songs is "Strange Fruit," a haunting protest against the inhumanity of racism. Many people know that the man who wrote the song was inspired by a photograph of a lynching. But they might not realize that he's also tied to an iconic event in America's history.

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD Story tonight for my pr pal Billy James.... On the 4th of July a bunch of us Army brats grabbed a car and made our way from Ft. Benning GA to a raceway 20 miles south of Atlanta...not very far...we had 1 day planned out as we were so young and failed to alert our parents of our idea.... I was 14 my friend Brian the driver was 16. My best friend Cindy and her friend Kevin rounded out our group. Cindy was a Martha Stewart type....We had 2 big coolers full of cans of pop, water, snacks and ice. Thankfully there was 4 of us to carry these things. We left really early in the morning like 630a and got to our location in 3 hours. Quite a traffic jam getting into the track. We finally got in and found a really good spot...not far from the stage and close to porta johns....I remember very little now except for it being very hot and how I felt when an unknown band from Michigan took the stage and blew the crowd away..the band was GRAND FUNK RAILROAD We had heard so much loud music already but when GFR took the stage the world stood still...then the joy spread all over the audience. No politics, no war, no more British invasion pop...this was American Rock and it shook us kids to our soul..especially for me being from Ypsilanti, MI and hearing Michigan music in GA...I was so homesick for Detroit music...I teared up just remembering how good Grand funk made me feel...and they still do... This video was filmed in Texas and the ATL gig was just before but they looked very similar...for history's sake ATL was 4th of July and TX was Labor Day 1969 The first Atlanta International Pop Festival was a rock festival held at the Atlanta International Raceway in Hampton, Georgia, twenty miles south of Atlanta, on the July Fourth (Friday) weekend, 1969, more than a month before Woodstock. Crowd estimates ranged from the high tens of thousands to as high as 150,000. With temperatures nearing a hundred degrees, local fire departments used fire hoses to create "sprinklers" for the crowd to play in and cool off. It was a peaceful, energetic, hot and loud festival with few (if any) problems other than heat related. Concession stands were woefully inadequate. Attendees frequently stood in line for an hour to get a soft drink. Amazon.com Widgets
July is wrapping up and while we still have plenty of summer days ahead of us, I thought now is a good time to feature the book, Surfside Style.
The idea for Freedom Summer was first presented to field staff during a five-day workshop in mid-November 1963 in Greenville, Mississippi to evaluate the “Freedom Vote” that had taken place the month before.
